67%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, actionable research workflow with strong sequencing, a halt condition, a checklist, and error-recovery loops. The main weakness is verbosity from duplicated YAML examples and sections that restate earlier steps.
Suggestions
Remove the duplicate backends YAML: keep only one of the inline example (lines 43-60) or the starter registry template (lines 81-110), referencing the other rather than reproducing it.
Collapse the 'Research Configuration' and 'Research Backends' sections into the corresponding 'Before You Start' steps (4 and 5) to avoid restating the same vault-file checks twice.
Add an explicit pre-filing validation checkpoint (e.g., 'verify all source/concept/entity pages render and required frontmatter fields are set before updating index.md') to strengthen the batch-write workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient operational detail with no 'what is a PDF'-style filler, but it carries noticeable redundancy — the backends YAML is shown twice (lines 43-60 and 81-110) and the Research Configuration/Backends sections repeat steps already in 'Before You Start'. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, mostly copy-paste-ready guidance — executable qmd/bash commands, exact frontmatter templates with named fields, log.md and .manifest.json format strings — with only minor gaps where synthesis is left abstract. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequence (config → Round 1/2/3 → Filing → Cross-linking → Tracking → QMD) with a halt condition, a Quality Checklist, and error-recovery feedback loops (backend failure falls back to WebSearch; QMD failure does not roll back vault). Minor gap: no inline pre-file validation checkpoint before writing pages. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clearly headed sections and delegates config/writing-profile detail to the canonical llm-wiki/SKILL.md (one-level-deep, clearly signaled). No bundle files exist to split further; minor organization gaps come from the long inline backends YAML that could live in a reference file. | 4 / 5 |
